HBLF 25TH ANNIVERSARY WEEK- HBLF for Diversity

 

The Hungarian Business Leaders Forum (HBLF) has come to a significant milestone this year, celebrating its 25th anniversary. HBLF was founded by the personal support of HRH the Prince of Wales in 1992.  HRH Prince Charles initiative was joined by 11 visionary business leaders. Our mission is the same since the foundation, namely, to encourage companies to integrate corporate social responsibility and the principles of sustainable development into the everyday business practice.  Since its establishment, members of HBLF promote responsible leadership for the long-term prosperity of their businesses and the whole of society.

During the HBLF 25th Anniversary Week (October 9-13, 2017) we are organizing several professional programs for the business, public and civil sector representatives to summarize the past 25 years successes, lessons learned. In partnership with our members and stakeholders, we would like to use this opportunity to identify the focus and activities for the next decades to come.

The 25th Anniversary Reception is the flagship event of the Anniversary Week. During the Jubilee Week, we will organise high-level occasions, an Extraordinary HBLF Summit at the Constitutional Court hosted by President Tamás Sulyok, an Exclusive CEO Forum at the invitation of Minister János Lázár in the Parliament. The transparency work stream will organise a conference titled “In the Web of  Business Relationships”, the sustainability work stream will hold an event titled ‘Europe Ambition 2030’ and hosted by Dr. Gyula Bándi, Ombudsman for Future Generations and the diversity work stream will organise an unconscious bias training for c-level executives. During the Jubilee Week, HMA Iain Lindsay will hold a celebration dinner for HBLF.
